Chapter 1729: Heart-Breaking Modification
The Japanese did not expect that the war would be so tragic, in this war, Japan destroyed a total of almost 14,000 tanks, but most of them were completely destroyed, and less than 5,000 tracks were blown up, but even if it was these 5,000, Japan did not take all of them.

The reason is very simple, the US army was not repelled by Japan, on the contrary, the United States also occupied a considerable upper hand, occupying a large number of positions belonging to Japan, most of these tanks, where were they destroyed, and the positions of the two sides were staggered.
Because the Americans had the advantage of tanks and had artillery that was not weaker than the Japanese as the backing, the United States had the upper hand for the first time in history, and most of the intertwined parts were beneficial to the United States, and even most of the tanks that were destroyed were under the control of the United States.
With the experience of the previous few times, at this moment, the United States will never dare to cheapen the tanks of the Japanese, even if it is a destroyed tank, God knows if the Japanese can restore these tanks, more than 1,000 have been taken away by the Japanese, God knows whether it will create a tank army, precisely because the Japanese also have tanks, and a large number of tank trenches have been dug in front of the American position.
In order to prevent the captured tanks from Japan and counterattack the American camp, it was precisely because he realized the excellent performance of the tank that he would know that the damaging effect of the tank on a relatively fixed position like the camp, and even Juneau, a frenzied position arranged by Japan, could not withstand a large-scale tank group, not to mention the American camp, compared with the Japanese defense line, the strength was not a little bit.
After this war, Japan was beaten badly, not only losing a large number of vital forces, but also losing a large area of defense line, but the Japanese still did not give up, and did not even adjust their positions and tactics.
Japan is so at ease and full of self-confidence, that is, with this batch of bazookas, there are also a group of engineers from China, and there is also a group of machinery and equipment for tank modification, and the long-awaited tank modification of the Japanese can finally be carried out, and this group of engineers has been treated most warmly in Alaska.
If it were 10 years ago, in the eyes of the Japanese, China had an industry, and it was a completely poor and white world, but now, even if China shows a little bit of strength, Japan must look up to, and they have always looked forward to Chinese engineers coming over to modify American tanks.
After the cherry blossom plan was basically finalized, Japan has been preparing for the cherry blossom plan, Alaska is a huge place, from east to west, from south to north, there are many places, used to practice the best attempt, but not waiting for them to go a thousand kilometers, just 500 kilometers, there are a large number of problems, although most of these problems, with the help of the Chinese side to solve, but scared Japan no longer dare to try, easy to get this part of the tank, although this time destroyed the US tank, there are some supplements, but it can't be produced, and it is easy to say that it is lost on the battlefield, but under the battlefield, the loss of non-war damage, this is going to die.
Almost at the cost of his life, he got a sufficient number of tanks, which were lost in training, and when the first engine had a problem due to a long-range attack and could not be repaired, this matter reached the extreme. There is no way, Kawasaki Meijing can only ask his subordinates to do regular training, after all, they have only mastered the basics, so far, they have just started the tank and traveled long distances, this is still a new subject, and it must wait until the arrival of the engineers and maintenance forces attached to China.
After arriving in Alaska, they began to help Kawasaki Meijing, sort out and establish a maintenance and support system, and the transport ship drifted at sea for about a month, and finally sent the machinery and equipment and spare equipment to Alaska.
China attaches great importance to Japan's sneak attack on the United States, and the ones sent are all elite soldiers, and when they are on the road, they have already had a plan for the modification of tanks, no, after arriving in Alaska, even if there is no equipment and spare parts, they have also carried out preliminary prediction drawings and planned modifications, so when the equipment arrived, with the help of some Japanese laborers, the equipment was installed in the factory prepared in advance, and then a tank was taken for modification.
Kawasaki Meijing and the newly established Sakura Rangers senior management, for this tank modification quite important, have come to the scene, the previous tanks, through several exercises, has proved that those tanks are not very suitable for long-range attack, but based on the belief in China, since the Chinese have replied, can do this, they are also looking forward to what the tank will be modified into.
In the new factory, which was empty yesterday, is now full of all kinds of machines, although it is impossible to use all kinds of super-powerful machines for tank modification as for tanks, but the necessary cutting, welding, and even partial modification tools also fill this room to the brim.
Dozens of engineers, with the help of hundreds of logistics and maintenance soldiers, started the first modification of the tank. The person in charge is Zhang Qing, the deputy chief engineer of the Shaanxi Tank Factory, he is the fourth in the Shaanxi Tank Factory in terms of technology, but his design is the most avant-garde, he has carefully checked the tank before, and the overall performance of the US tanks is still good, but the engine and transmission are well matched, and the system does not have a complete system, so the scrap rate is so much higher.
China has brought a complete set of mature engines and transmissions to Japan, which is the military equipment of classic small armored forces, and has produced more than 100,000 sets, which are widely used in military command vehicles, dining cars, armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles, and are the most mature and reliable products in China.
In his opinion, the overall structure of the tank can improve the defense of the tank, on the battlefield, except for a small number of tanks that were destroyed by bazookas, most of the tanks are destroyed and artillery fire, after cutting, no matter how firm the willow is, it is finally a weak point, in the high-intensity battle, there may be problems.
Zhang Qing doesn't know what Kawasaki Meijing thinks, even if he knows, he won't care much, the biggest failure of the US tank is the engine and transmission, to replace it, the track and chassis need to be removed, under the premise that there is no way to change the general structure of the tank, he must give them an opening, maybe this opening, will weaken the overall protection of the tank, but compared with easy replacement and maintenance, or the former is more important.
The engine was dismantled, and so was the transmission, if the Americans saw that they had spent a lot of money, and the engine imported from China was put on the ground so rashly, I am afraid that it would suffer a hundred times the damage, the civilian engine is larger, and the military has been reduced to an extreme situation, even if the horsepower is more than twice as high as that of the civilian one, and when it is added, not only the space is reduced by two-thirds, but the weight is also reduced by half.
The most important thing in the tank is power, under the premise of the same power, the comparison is the weight and some reliability, there is a lot of space left, according to Zhang Qing's design, a part of the armor will be installed to stabilize the center of gravity, which will also increase the armor of the engine part by more than 50%.
The change of the engine and transmission, said to be a large-scale change, but it does not take much time, this is the overall replacement, when taking it out, the most convenient method has been considered, as long as the shell is cut, it can be replaced, and even the armor has been produced, and a few screws can be added to the outside, and the fixation can be completed, as long as it is not hit by violence, there should not be too many problems.
Relative to the power system, the greater modification is still in the cab, or change the material, or make a slight correction, add lubricating oil, and even to a certain extent, the attack on the United States, do not need too strong protection, and not a tough battle, in terms of the United States' extremely poor defense, there is no strong protection of the city, then the speed is the key, the 320 horsepower engine, the power has been higher than the previous engine, 50% faster power, the transmission device is also ready-made, although simple, But it is already China to the extreme, for the loss of power, much lower than the United States, even if it is the original weight of the tank, to increase the speed to 35 kilometers per hour, it should not be a problem.
Speed is the key factor of the tank, especially in a wide range of attacks, heavy tanks are more used in siege and fortification, must use thick armor, to offset the power of the opponent's artillery, but long-range running, attacking the hinterland of the United States, to a certain extent, the battle will be very much, but one side is a sneak attack, one side is a passive defense, the artillery that can be mobilized is also limited, speed has become the best choice, or 25 kilometers per hour speed, can not react in the US army, rush to the Pacific Railway.
Speed is the key, from the no man's land of Canada, to the hinterland of the United States, there are not too many people in large areas of territory, 25 kilometers per hour, and 35 kilometers per hour, it seems that there is only 10 kilometers behind, which represents 40% efficiency, 40% more distance a day, 40% less time, these advantages together, for the long-distance run is not a little bit of improvement, maybe it can really be achieved quietly into the United States, and destroy the United States Pacific Railway.
